Tarot Visconti – Tarocchi del Visconti
The deck takes us to the Italian Renaissance – to the palaces of Milan, where the gold of the arcana shines just like the symbols of the ancient Visconti family. This is not just a tarot, but a historical work of art, in which coats of arms, figures and ornaments become the language of memory, power and mysticism. Each card is like a page of a chronicle, where mysticism is intertwined with aesthetics.
